Protesting the anti energy left's protest in Texas

First came the Trans-Pecos pipeline. Then the pipeline protesters arrived.

Now the protest protesters are mobilizing.

North Texans for Natural Gas launched an online petition this week in support of Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners’ Trans-Pecos Pipeline “and continued energy development in West Texas.”

“Texans don’t want professional protesters coming in from out of state to try to shut down our energy economy,” said Steve Everley, spokesman for the natural gas advocacy group....

... the gas group, funded by four big oil companies — Oklahoma City’s Devon Energy, Houston’s EnerVest and EOG Resources, and Forth Worth-based XTO Energy, a subsidiary of Exxon Mobil — says most Texans embrace the jobs and opportunity provided by such development. The Trans-Pecos will generate at least $7 million each year in tax revenues to the counties through which the pipeline travels. Oil and gas development in West Texas supports more than 444,000 jobs, the group said, “and is the lifeblood of the local economy.”

“Anti-pipeline groups think they have momentum after Keystone XL and Dakota Access,” Everley said. “But this is Texas. This is where we fight back.”...

These anti-pipeline protesters are the useful idiots of OPEC and the Russian oil and gas industry. They choose non-productive jobs like protesting instead of getting jobs that will grow the economy. They should have a hard time getting the media attention they thrive on. Law enforcement should strictly enforce the Don't Mess With Texas laws and not allow them to trash this state.

Democrats are more fearful about what 2018 holds than Republicans, according to a poll released early Monday.

The new Axios survey showed 55 percent of Democrats are more hopeful personally about the new year while 44 percent are more fearful.

Among Republicans, 90 percent are more hopeful about 2018, and just 9 percent are more fearful.

When asked about the world in general, 29 percent of Democrats said they are more hopeful, compared to 70 percent who said they are more fearful.

Pollsters found 67 percent of Republicans are more hopeful about the world in general in the new year, and 32 percent are more fearful....
While this may just reflect Democrats' anxiety about being out of power, the poll also demonstrates a sense of optimism by Republicans. Except for a few of the never Trumpers, most Republicans have been pleasantly surprised by the accomplishments Trump has put in place in his first year in office. I think that is because Republicans are getting better at filte…

Some injuries were reported and more than a dozen people were arrested after opposing sides clashed at dueling pro- and anti-Trump rallies, Berkeley, Calif., police said.
The liberals engage in projection by calling Trump supporters fascists, when it is in fact, their supporters who are sparking the violence in Califonia. There is a strain of intolerance for other points of view that is enforced by people dressed in black and their faces covered. They physically attack Trump supporters or other conservatives. These people may wear black but the are the Brownshirts of liberal fascism.

When we gather together this Christmas, it’s going to be super-awkward since everybody is dead because Donald Trump pulled out of the Paris Climate Scam, repealed net neutrality, and cut taxes. The depredations of Genghis Khan, the Black Plague, and the repeal of the Obamacare mandate – these are pretty much the same thing. Santa Claus and all of our dreams are dead too.

On the plus side, since we are all dead there’s no one to make egg nog, which is the worst of all possible nogs.

Santa stuffed coal into the Democrats’ fishnet stockings this year, as well as all sorts of other fossil fuels. The President turned on the Keystone pipeline, unleashed our miners, and told the environmentalist whiners to go frack themselves. Growing up near San Francisco, a town memorably described by (I believe) comedian Bobby Slayton as “The city that makes its own gravy,” I got used to goateed, over-tatted progressive doofuses who imagined that the electricity that powered their iPa…
